San Jose: School lockdown lifted after police manhunt nets two arrests

SAN JOSE -- A police manhunt prompted a two-hour lockdown of an East San Jose high school while officers searched for car theft suspects and a gun they purportedly brandished, police said.

Two people were arrested, and no gun was found, police said.

Police were called to a neighborhood near Overfelt High School about 11:25 a.m. for reports of a car containing several men, at least one of whom was holding a gun. Officers spotted the car, determined it was stolen, and when they tried to stop the vehicle, the occupants fled on foot.

The school was ordered to lock its doors while police searched an area roughly bounded by King, Bermuda, Ocala and Orlando roads. They caught and arrested two men but did not find a gun.
